With no/ultra-low load homes, research

addresses other loads, renewables, and

transaction process

As thermal loads continue to shrink,

reducing other loads become critical. Also need to address ‘0’

value in trans. process.

Thermal loads becoming so small,

need low-load HVAC and whole-house dehumid. due to

longer swing seasons.

Tighter, better insulated homes demand water management,

ventilation and IAQ.

As codes ramp up, critical research

continues to address effective insulation, air sealing, and windows.

With advent of insulation in codes,

critical research addresses effective

insulation, air sealing, and windows.

• Address most common residential and commercial efficiency measures in incentive programs

• Present step-by-step calculations for determining gross savings

Collaboration: Developed with EM&V Industry and Major Energy Efficiency Stakeholders

• Including the major U.S. firms that do as many as 70% of energy efficiency evaluations

• Industry review process allows for input from large array of stakeholders; 636 comments from 46 organizations

• 7 Energy Efficiency Protocols will be publicly released by end of January 2013

• Opportunity to lead in adoption/use of protocols in the energy efficiency industry
